Through its own publications and co-publishing partnerships, Amigdala Centre creates space for topics in psychotherapy and philosophy, as well as the intersections between them. We publish and support books that connect professional knowledge with everyday experience, making complex questions accessible to a wider audience in a clear, thoughtful, and practical way.
How can we distinguish sexual attraction from a deeper loving connection, and what does it mean to build a relationship that brings together intimacy, closeness, and personal freedom? In Are You Making Love or Just Having Sex?, philosopher and psychotherapist Elliot D. Cohen draws on Logic-Based Therapy (LBT) to explore patterns of thinking and behaviour that can make close relationships difficult, offering practical guidance and exercises to help change them. In 2025, Amigdala Centre and Naklada Uliks co-published the Croatian translation, titled Vodite li ljubav ili se samo seksate? The original English edition is available to purchase online from Anthem Press.

Why do some gifts stay with us for years, while others make us want to pass them on straight
away? What does gift-giving reveal about the relationship between giver and recipient—and why
do we so often miss the mark?
In Out of the Box, Ines Skelac brings together philosophy, the psychology of relationships, and
everyday experiences of gift-giving. Through examples, humour, and familiar situations, the
book explores what we really give when we give someone a gift, what we expect in return, and
how well we know the person we are choosing it for.
